Carrying client data around with you on a USB drive? Then you need a flash drive with password protection and encryption. I received my new Kanguru encrypted USB drive last week. I’m not getting paid for this, I’m just sharing a tool that I like. I've been using Kanguru drives since 2012.

Challenge accepted! The UPS Virtual Assistant popped up unbidden when I was tracking a package. It said, “Let me know how I can help.”

"What did you do today, Bob?"
"I dissected a dead mouse."
And yes, I had fun.

I took this screenshot back in 2018 and just stumbled across it again today. I thought you might find it to be an interesting lesson in the English language.

I thought I had this genius idea to register "Rogue_AI" on the Xitter site, so I did a search to see if someone else had already claimed it. Yup. They beat me to it. And I don't know what they did with it, but it seems sort of roguish to me, since they already got it suspended.

"Uncomplicate yourself."
From Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, Book IV, translation by Gregory Hays.

On NCIS tonight, the Agent in Charge of the Far East office pronounced Yokosuka as yo-ko-SUE-ka. That seems - unlikely.

"What American apps are banned in China?"
(BTW, Signal is also banned, although not included in Google Gemini's response).

Want a Wi-Fi signal strength reading on your Windows laptop that’s more granular than those little bars? Here’s a batch file that will show the Received Strength Signal Indicator (RSSI) as a percentage. It updates the reading every two seconds. You can walk around the building or your home and see how the signal changes.

netsh wlan show interfaces | find "Signal"
